(When David fled from his son Absalom) <br /> <br />1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! <br /> many are they that rise up against me. <br /> <br />2 Many there be which say of my soul, <br /> There is no help for him in God. Selah. <br /> <br />3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; <br /> my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. <br /> <br />4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, <br /> and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. <br /> <br />5 I laid me down and slept; <br /> I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. <br /> <br />6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, <br /> that have set themselves against me round about. <br /> <br />7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: <br /> for thou hast smitten all mine enemies <br /> upon the cheek bone; <br /> thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. <br /> <br />8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: <br /> thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. <br /> <br />(KJV)<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-3-salvation-belongeth-unto-the-lord/
